If I hot plug it, I see the following in the messages log

I don't get a device created in /dev.

I'm running the lastest F11 32 bit

Linux godzilla2 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:14:37 EDT
2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Any words of wisdom (other than "don't do that") ?

Thanks,

John


I have two F11 machines that hotplug eSATA OK
In the back of my mind I seem to remember you have to set the BIOS to
SATA mode AHCI

I also hack PolicyKit so normal user can mount "fixed" disks

nedit /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf so ja can mount disks OR Use
Xfce/Settings/Authorisations

<config
version="0.1">
<match
action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
     <return
result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>

I use pcmanfm as file manager when I'm playing with eSATA
as all disks (USB and eSATA) are shown and can be mounted/unmounted
Neither dolphin or thunar get it quite right yet

Thanks for the tip. I'll save it in case hotplug ever works.

I think my problem is a bug in the ICH7 chipset Sata controller.

Regards,

John
